Why on earth would u not make any design changes? Especialy with the upgraded motors of this year.

I just dunno. I have some SERIOUS doubts that you guy were (insert word here) enough to build the same bot. Thats just not smart. I REALLY hope this is a prank. It seems very much so not in the spirit of first.

It is the 2001 robot, with a little different painting at the end, and the sides are off. I bet the drivers got 6 weeks of practice as soon as the field was built.

Even if they did use the same design as past years, I wouldn't say its not within the spirit of FIRST. Just think of the rookie teams with a drive train the first year and second year... They are re-using their design, would you call that not within the spirit of FIRST?

I am pretty sure they got something better than this... If not, its still a really good robot.

As I'm sure most people already know, this is obvioulsy our 2001 bot not our 2003. We all got a little slap happy towards the ship date and we figured we would have a little fun seeing who remembered our 2001 bot. We look forward to seeing everyone at the competition at UCF and Huston!
